I enjoyed the latest episode. Guilt is a M'Fer
Haven't heard anything about this, and I'm not great with horror so I might not watch but... that's a really rad concept, huh.
It's a mix of different genres, but the "horror" episodes barely qualify as horror anyway.
In fact, the attempt at horror in the first episode was laughable.
I don't know. Ralphie freaked me out a bit. Not that he was intimidating, but that you can't hurt children.
I've never seen anything like that one before.
The story was told entirely through dance, but since I don't really have any idea of how to interpret dance, I didn't quite know what was happening. Did the items she found in the room make her relive an experience from when she was a young woman? Or was she just imagining who the people in the room might have been?
I'm thinking it's the latter, since the episode was called 'Voyeurs', but I recall an earlier review saying something to the effect of "an older cleaning woman performs ballet with her younger self", which doesn't exactly jibe with the "voyeur" context.
I guess I'm a bit confused.
But what a fascinating episode that was.
Yeah, I wasn't really sure either. This EW breakdown seems to point to the latter as well.

My favored interpretation is that the the cleaner was the woman when she was younger (80s theme, similar looks, matching arm tattoos at the end) and that she gave up her dance career to be pregnant to her husband and wishes she made a different choice.
That one was interesting, conceptually, but the execution was bland and unexciting. The characters weren't particularly well drawn and the story didn't feel substantial enough.
Yawn. As someone who grew up in Idaho/Utah I'm so over the Mormon missionary thing.
She died in the plane crash and was being eternally judged. She is stuck in purgatory until she either chooses to admit her sin (adultery) or embrace it.
I fell off the show after... episode 3 I think? The one with Orlando Jones as the cult figure? Not for any reason in particular, it just sort of slipped my mind. Worth catching up on?
